Behr should be at home depot. I think you can probably go to one and get paint squares to see what the finish would be like.

I guess if I had to err on the side of caution, I'd go with the duller finish, as I don't think they were super shiny. But go with what you like.

This color is one of their "archived" colors and the paint squares aren't available. I know the screen color isn't very accurate, but it is close. I always thought the cabinet was dirty, but any attempts are cleaning it didn't work as I think I was trying to clean the actual color away. I can also see where someone really tried cleaning it as there are areas on the sides of obvious scrubbing that left wear marks.

With the mix ratios they give, I think I can get a small quart of it and try it on the underside. If it's correct, I think I'll spring for the mix in an aerosol can as I think that would give a better finish than brush. I'll also do the back of the stand to see if it would look good in same color.
